Rejection therapy is targeted at people who take rejection too personally. The idea is that if rejection is your goal, you can experience it in a way that isn't so debilitating, and stop being afraid to express what you really want. > Every person doing this is putting at least 30 people into the somewhat awkward situation of having to reject someone. I know I don't particularly like having to tell people "no, you can't do/have that". This is exactly the same problem, but from the other side! Just as a person shouldn't be so deathly afraid of rejection, a person shouldn't have such a problem saying "no" if the answer is no. If that didn't feel so awkward, then the self-centered people you mention would stop being obliged by weak people who are afraid to say no.
